Wednesday November 2 is Missoula's Festival of the Dead. Occupy Missoula is joining forces with the Mountain Water for Missoula group to march together in protest of corporate domination of our political and natural resources. <<<UPDATE ON OCTOBER 27: FACEBOOK PAGE DESCRIBING UPDATED EVENT HERE, please share widely : www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=251352844912910New discussion being developed due to Oakland's proposal to hold a general strike that day as well. please add your thoughts on this thread!>>> It sounds like Occupy Missoula is interested in showing up as zombies .. i like the idea of being "ghosts of democracy" anyway you get the idea. There are a few little pockets of people who are discussing this, so I hope you all find this message board and can add your ideas and info to this thread, so others can join in. I don't know much more than this. Oh and the Art and Culture work group has agreed to create a banner. There is an application to be in the parade, and someone is filling that out for both groups by tomorrow, so no one worry about doing that part! Its essentially done. So post your plans for costume and sign making here.. and anything else we should all know about joining in the parade together !

I like the idea of joining up with the Water advocacy folks! Is everybody going to wear ghost like costumes? Would it make sense to distribute fliers to people about how to get involved in the Occupy movement (i.e. with times of GA's, the different committees, etc.?)

I think we should also be announcing the Nov. 5th event as "The Day of the Dead Banks" at the Nov. 2nd event...or at least be publicizing it.

I am not a good graphic design person, but I'd be happy to draw up a flier that includes these events, how to get involved, the website information, etc.
Would people want me to do that?

That is an excellent idea for outreach Rebecca, and I would recommend putting it together. Thank you.

I posted something here -- and now its gone? I don't know how to e-mail someone from here, so if you can e-mail me the contact person's (who is the graphic designer) then I can get in touch. If all else fails, I can make one myself. My e-mail is rebeccabweston@gmail.com.
Thanks!
Rebecca

I'll go ahead and make a flier. Won't be gloriously pretty, but the basics will be there with info about various events, etc.
SO ... I will do my best to figure out from all of these postings where/when the various committee meetings meet and I'd like to put a contact number or name for people from each committee. These are not "leaders" of the committee, but people who would not mind at least receiving calls from interested folks to get help getting oriented and ready to go to their first meeting ...

I am planning on attending, will see you at the XXXs at 5:30? Are there any other meetings prior to Tuesday? I plan on being a ghost of democracy. If anyone has ideas on this let me know, I simply can be a ghost, but not sure how I will be a ghost of "democracy", thanks for putting this together.
